Thailand revokes Thaksin's passport
The personal passport of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been revoked following several days of demonstrations that paralysed Bangkok.
A Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman said the passport was revoked on Sunday when a state of emergency was declared.
A day before, protesters had stormed a regional summit in nearby Pattaya.
The government had already revoked the former leader's diplomatic passport.
Thaksin is in self-imposed exile following a 2006 coup against his government and a subsequent corruption conviction.
But he stoked a crowd of anti-government protesters by speaking to them by video almost nightly during the recent unrest.
At one stage, he called for a revolution.
